{ // comments /* yeye */ // we are fully json compatible! "foo": "bar", // quotes can change 'yey': 'single', // no need to quote keys tho key: 'val', list: [ 1, 2, 3, // trailing commas are good ], // speaking of commas, who needs commas? foo: 1 baz: 2 // as long as values are separated by whitespace, they are valid // you can even do some weird stuff like this, but I wouldn't advise it this: 1 that: 2 those: 3 // for... reasons, strings are multiline long: ' hey there, this is a long string notice how we need to \'escape\' single quotes the only problem with this is that it doesn\'t trim those newlines and leading whitespace, which brings me to... ' // backticks! multiline: ` hey there, this is a long string the benefit of this is that it will trim those newlines and leading spaces but it still preserves other indentation - like this list or this: - another list some stuff here for testing ` }
